S3E8 The respiratory & circulatory systems
from Mid Life Athlete · host Jason Smith & Greg Ryan
Jason and Greg discuss the respiratory and circulatory systems and how they work together to support the body. The circulatory system, made up of the heart and blood vessels, brings blood to and from the lungs to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the body's tissues and organs, while also removing carbon dioxide and waste products. The respiratory system, which includes the lungs, alveoli, and diaphragm, is responsible for breathing and facilitating the transfer of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air and the blood. The autonomic nervous system controls breathing and regulates the cardiovascular system, including heart rate and blood pressure, and prepares the body for physical activityIf you would like to access the detailed notes behind this episode then please subscribe to our paid Substack posts.The Mid Life Athlete podcasts are free and we hope our fans enjoy them.Click here to subscribe to our newsletter and automatically get our latest podcasts, blogs, offers etc into your inbox.You can find Mid Life Athlete onTwitter @PodMidInstagram @mid_life_athleteEmail us: [email protected] the showClick here to subscribe to our newsletter and automatically get our latest podcasts, blogs, offers etc into your inbox.
